“Cultural appropriation” more like “let me bitch and whine about shit that doesn’t matter because equality isn’t all about me anymore"

   Cultural appropriation is an act of racism. It reduces the targeted race (or group) into something subhuman. When a race (or group) is viewed as subhuman violence and oppression towards that group is inevitable. How does that not matter?

hoochella I’m not saying cultural appropriation and racism aren’t still problems. I’m saying you and all those other self-righteous assholes scrutinize everything in order to find some injustice in things that were never intended to be racist in the first place. News flash cultures don’t grow without change and change doesn’t come around when people like you cry racism over every little thing. If you want true equality then maybe you should start treating everyone the same instead of treating minorities like they’re superior.

indigenous-rising Wearing a costume to depict an entire race is racist. These costumes are dehumanizing. When a race (or group) is viewed as subhuman violence and oppression towards that group is inevitable.
